Tempe's Cadillac Ranch to close, reopen with new concept

TEMPE, Ariz. -- It’s been nearly one year since 19-year-old Jack Culolias disappeared and died after being escorted out of a fraternity event at Cadillac Ranch. Surveillance video captured the ASU student ordering drinks from the bar.

Although Culolias had a fake I.D., investigators from the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control determined the bar was not properly using their I.D. log on that particular night.

The investigation resulted in thousands of dollars worth of violations for the restaurant. Managing partner Chris Osborn declined to comment on the case, saying “There are legal proceedings.

"We’re really trying to help the family out and not breach confidentiality," said Osborn.

However, Osborn announced Wednesday that Cadillac Ranch will close after Saturday and reopen with a completely new concept in December.
